Roasted Brussels Sprouts

They are super easy to prepare and just taste like cabbage. Cabbage isn’t bad. Plus, you have to admit: They are kind of cute.  Do you have things that you think you dislike, but aren’t really sure because you haven’t had them in ages? I don’t know about you, but my taste for things has changed a lot over the years, so I think it is very important to try things more than once. Most things. Unless you’re into eating worms or other weird stuff. Then once is probably good.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves. Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour them on a sheet pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
  3. Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly. Serve immediately.
